I still haven’t gotten it.
I’ve been tested 3 times and tested once for antibodies. Negatives across the board.
I got sick recently, and it was at work. Was persistent low grade fever, chills, fatigue, body aches and generally feeling like crap. About six days after becoming symptomatic (still had fever etc,) was contacted by a member of the CPO and told I've been identified through contact tracing as exposed. I tested positive and at two week point from first feeling ill, still didn't feel 100% better. The exposure and infection occurred while at the training center for sim training. 11 days elapsed between exposure and when I was notified by company. First symptoms appeared 6 days after the known exposure.
I've had the flu. I will say, the flu was worse from the perspective of how severely, but acutely sick I felt. This one however, really wore me out with it's persistence. I was 11 days with an up and down low grade fever. Never had a fever that long before.
